Trust me Martin mate yrs clean congrats but trust me its on it mind too just like the rest of us the only difference is , is that you have learnt to say no and walk away from it , but back to your scenario about seeing a pile of coke if ur telling me that if u saw that on the table and u was with friends or whoever I bet a part of u even for a split second would think emm maybe , that's inevitable mate that's how the human brain works once the memory is in it head trust there's always temptation.

The 12 step recovery meetings ... you meet a lot of people who think in a similar way and have a certain form of OCD learning slow or fast. The little sayings, the terminology is like a bloody addiction for some people. I dont think you are rude at all Martin. But I do think a lot of people who have an addictive personality have huge egos. You are one of them. I have a big ego, very opinionated. Some people I know through AA still say 'recovery' as a statement to mean they still have an addictive personality. I hear ya though I get what you mean here. Some people in meetings are terrified of saying they are 'no longer an addict'. It goes against the terminology. Once an addict. Always an addict. If someone who has got clean wants to sy they re no longer an addict thats fine with me. It aint my business. It IS about not dwelling in the past. I would not be alive today without AA meetings. I no longer go but it helped me massively. But when involved with the groups, the regular meetings.... some of the people there and their wisdom, their ego... it gets a grip of them. Rambling on. Peace anyway.. best wishes.
